HINTS ON MANURES As it is the time of year when we are much occupied with manures, we repro duee some useful hints, for which we are indebted to a practical man whose ex]>e rionce has authorized him to give his opin ions. It will be observed that lie econ omizes and preserves in the best manner the manure from horses,, cattle sheep, hogs, poultry, all under a uniform system of management. While exceptions may be taken to some points of his practice, it cannot he denied that on the whole it de serves high commendation : First, the horse stable is kept well lit tered with dry leaves, applied, sometimes, as often as once a week ; and others, only once a fortnight. When the stalls get about twelve inches deep in manure, they are emptied by first throwing the manure into the stable passage with the dung forks, and then carrying it in wheel-barrows in an adjoining shod, to remain until wanted for the land. This removal and spreading checks the fermentation and consumption by lire fang, to which stable manure is li able. except under careful management, and saves it from being sodden with rain water. The cattle are penned on the same spot every night in the year, in a square yard, with an open shed on its north side, 15 feet wide. This shed and lot are regularly lit tered, and the manure never distributed but three times in the year. The sheep lot adjoins both horse and cow lots, and is regnlarlv littered, and the sheep are penned in it every night in the year. Tiiisliou.se has also a.lot on the north side, and in this house the sheep are salted three times a week, the year round, and fed every night during the winter. To the objection made to penning on the same spot throughout the year it is an swered that sheep are not safe from dogs in the fields or in the hurdles, but are safe in a lot immediately adjoining the other stock. It is also objected that the labor moving the pens and hurdles during the busy season makes it liable to be neglec ted. Into the horse lot, which is also littered, the liogs are called and fed every night, if it is only a liibbin to each. Here they sleep, and are turned oui every morning. In the winter the hogs fattened to kill are penned upon leaves, and then a load of ma nure is made to every hog, and the loads are always a four-horse wagon body full. The chicken coop is littered with a little fine straw, occasionally sprinkled with lime, (plaster would be better), charcoal dust, or ashes. This is considered equal to guano, pound for pound, but rarely finds its way to the farm, being thought the best manure for onions, tomatoes, Irish pota toes, Ac. Behind the stable is a pen built of logs, into which is thrown occasionally a load of leaves, and upon the leaves are thrown all the leached ashes of the farm, all the dead chickens, pigs, rotten eggs, sweepings of the house yard, soap suds, now and then a peck of salt, the slops from the chambers daily, and all kinds of bloody water or slops that the pigs will not eat. The manure is never touched till it is dry, and only hauled out when the land is dry. In this way the loads seldom .ever contain less than 80 bushels. The manure is never put down in heaps, or little conical piles, to be scattered here- , after. It is scattered from the wagon i broadcast, and ten or twelve wagon loads over an aero : ot horse lot manure, only j trampled leaves, op wagon loads are put j on ; of good dry and pulverized stable ma nure, about 800 bushels, or eight to ten! wagon loads per acre. We have given these items of manure . management as an example for large or ; small farmers who have heretofore been careless in the matter. Some extra work ; of course will be required to supply the! large amount of litter. One hand on a j large farm would be sufficient for the pur-: puso and do a good many other useful j< lis. On a grain farm, a proper use of the straw and stalks will amply supply the place of leaves. Not only will a great quantity of good manure be manufactured, but the stock ot every description will be greatly benefitted by the abundant littering.—Jtul timarr San. I FATTENING ANIMALS IN A HURRY. \\ e have pointed out in former years the futility of attempts to lay heavy masses of iiesh on poor cattle by stuffing them with rich food. •Such attempts not only prove to be failures, but are always wasteful.— Tin- material consumed is nearly lost, the animals remain comparatively poor, and the owners are convinced that fattening an imals for market " don't pay." It is perhaps well for the cause of good management that all neglected treatment of animals should result in loss to the owner. If he has starved Ids cattle, sheep and pigs for a year or more, lie cannot atone for it by sudden attempts to push them to fatness. On the contrary the only true way is to see that growth continues with out cessation, summer and winter, from the ( arliest period of their existence till they are finally sold in market. A single check given to this continued progress may ar rest or retard it for months Our own ob servations lead us to the opiaion that the whole profits resulting from raising and fattening, when this continued progress is kept up by careful, regular but not extrava gant feeding, are at least triple the amount realized from early neglect and heavy feed ing afterwards—and of ten the difference is many times greater than here stated. There is nothing that should be more strongly impressed on the mind of the young farmer who makes the feeding of an imals a prominent part of his business,than the importance of keeping up an unremit ting growth throughout the whole course ol their existence. The most successful pork-raiser with whom we are acquainted, adheres strictly to this course ; not only feeding his store pigs well and regularly through fall and winter, but commencing the fattening not merely in autumn, as is too commonly the case, but early in the spring. It is objected that this management is too expensive. This objection is urged by those who find two or three months only t"> consume more than they can afford. They feed heavily for a short time, but do not re ceive a corresponding return of increased flesh. "If two months feeding," they in quire, "costs us so much Vnoney, how can we ever afford to continue it for two or three years?" It is very t uo they cannot, because the whole system they adopt is a profitless one. Fortunately it does not re quire heavy feeding to keep up the con tinued growing condition of animals. Here is u great error into which many have fal len, which we have endeavored to correct. John Johnston made tin remark some years ago that the copious tcerling of grain or meal to cattle is no Letter than a moderate amount. Vto j/av< the statement some years ago of experiment* performed by'? If. Ghase of Gaynga county, *ho ( arefully wigle-d fv-ry week all hi* fattening an mal-. A dady tsuppl f for q of barley meal to a fine steer, gave a weekly increase in weight averaging 18 pome Is. A neighbor advised hint to push him, and eight quarts were accordingly fed daily. The weekly increase of flesh was lees than when he received four quarts. The amount being increased to twelve quarts per day, he gained nothing at all. Several similar instances have come to our knowledge, and among others a line animal was recently led by a neighbor a peck or more of rich meal per day Afb r thus urging on the fattening process as he supposed, for sev eral weeks, he was finally sold and proved to be only a few pounds heavier than when purchased. The many bushels of feed which lie liad consumed and the labor ot atten dance given him, literally went for not-h- Sueo svfiil feeders, who prove all their experiments ly weighing, have long since ascertained that animals in tine condition will lay on more flesh for the amount of food eaten than those of inferior character. Hence shrewd men will not purchase lean and raw-boned animals for fattening. This fact serves to establish the truth that all animals at all stages of growth should be kept fleshy. It may be scarcely necessary to remind any intelligent manager that the difference between attending to all the com forts of an animal by cleanliness, good wholesome food given regularly and in moderate quantity, and neglecting all these particulars, is simply the difference be tween those in fine healthy condition and such as are feeble and raw-boned. It may be laid down as true, with scarcely an ex ception, that the farmer who carries on the business of fattening at a loss, is one who neglects at one time aud over-feeds at an other.— Co. Gent. GIVE YOUR PIGS A PASTURE- It may be a mistaken notion that has found lodgment in my head, that fresh air, light, sunshine, exercise and cleanliness are as essential to a perfectly healthy hog, as to man, or any other of our domestic an imals ; and acting on this idea I give the pigs the run of the orchard, and they pay well for the use of the land. Their season's stint is to eat up all the windfalls, thus de stroying the worms and preventing them from leaving the apple and secreting them selves in the ground, as they otherwise would, and going through their transfor mation state and coming out a perfect in sect ready to deposit its eggs in the fruit of a succeeding crop, and your hogs de stroy very many of those pests that kill so many of our choicest apple trees. The borers leave the apple trees and take ref uge under the stones, and their await their state of transformation ; but you will And the hogs turning over the loose stones and eating up the pests, and they stir up the soil round the roots of the trees and make it mellow, and as you watch their move ments you must admit that his hogship is not by nature so filthy as many represent him by the force of circumstances, that he has to wallow in a small, filthy pen, five by ten. Give him* a dry sand bath in which to perform his ablutions, and he will wash himself as frequently and keep as clean as any pork despising Jew ; and, when you come to a final result, you will have a fine healthy porker, and your or chard well worked over, and the poor wormy windfalls all eaten up. Do notsup pose we mean for the hogs to run in the or chard till late in the fall, not by anvmeans. When the apples begin to ripen and fall off, the hogs should he shut up in a smaller enclosure where they can take proper ex-j ereise, for we think sour apples given to hogs when fattening them is injurious, as I it makes tlieir teeth sore, and it is with difficulty they can cat other food, but boiled \ with pumpkins, some apples are decidedly j a valuable food.—J L. IIERSEY- -Maine j Farmer. THE APPLE-WORM- This insect is becoming truly formid able, and a large share of the small crop of apples of tho present year is spoiled by its injuries. We have already noticed the new contrivance of Dr Trimble for destroy ing ;t by means of hay ropes passed round the trunks of the trees at midsummer, un der which these insects pass to the pupa ; state, and are then easily killed. This I remedy is no doubt useful as far as it goes, but we question if it will prove anything more than a useful auxiliary. Swine in , sufficient numbers to eat all the fallen fruit • i from the moment it begins to drop until it approaches full maturity, will doubtless , | prove very effectual. But those who have . i large orchards will find it difficult to as | somble swine enough to do the entire work in a complete manner. It may be neces ; sarv, therefore, to resort to sheep—the only i objection to which, is their propensity to ' bark the trees ; encircling them with board j boxes, or rolls of bass wood bark peeled 1 from saw-logs will be easier and better | than to allow the insects to ruin the crop. ! Sheep soon become fond of half-grown ap- I pies, and eat them readily. No orchard i should be permitted to run to grass until the trees Ikiyo attained good size; and even then nothing of larger growth than ! the short herbage of sheep pastures. The i top-dressing of manure which these animals I will give the orchard will prove another advantage. An additional scattering of manure from the yard in autumn will make up the deficiency of growth occasioned by a covering of turf.- -Co. Gen. THE WAY THEY MAKE BI TTER IN FRANCE.— : It is well known that cream may be con | verted into butter by simply being buried } in the ground, but it is not generally known j that this mode is in common use in Nor , mainly and s<-me other parts of France, j ihe process is as follows : "The cream is : placed in a linen bag of moderate thick i uess, which is carefully secured and placed in a hole in the ground, about a foot and a i half deep ; it is then covered and left for I twentv-fonr or twenty-five hours. When j taken out the cream is very hard, and only i requires beating for a short time with a j wo< leu mallet, after which half a glass of i water is thrown upon it, which causes the butter-milk to separate from the butter If J the quantity of cream to be converted into butt' r is large, it is left more than twenty five hours in the ground. In winter, when j the ground is frozen, the operation is per : formed in a cellar, the bag being well covered up with sand. Some persons place the bag containing the cream within a second bag, in order to prevent the chance ut any taint from the earth. This system saves labor, and is stated to produce a hugt-r amount ot butter than churning, and •d excellent quality, and is, moreover, said never to fail. — Journal So<-iel>i of Art s.
